Cole ends up playing cars on the couch entertaining himself. Although playing cars is COLE'S favorite thing to do. 
I decided to bag exercising and we went to the PARK. We packed up Cole's bike and our famous sand toys bucket and headed to the park. We had a fun time. I know I need to take advantage of these days because before I know it it will be to HOT and he will be a TEENAGER in a flash (time is flying and my kids are growing up too fast)! I also love being outside!
YEAH Brynn you are "5"! Every other Thursday we get to spend the day together while Lisa is cleaning with Oma. She is my big helper. One of our favorite things to do is walk to the park. Well, now that Brynn knows how to ride her bike without training wheels she rides her bike to the park. I will miss you when you go to kindergarten! I hope you have a great birthday! I love you and love those new sun GLASSES!
Today Tyler turned "16" wow! Where has the time gone? I love you Tyler! I love it when I catch Tyler on the phone (it doesn't happen often), but he always tells me he loves me! That is so COOL! I miss him so much! I can't wait to see you play basketball again (he is an awesome basketball player)! Basketball is my favorite sport you know. Have a "Happy Birthday!" Be prepared to give me a full run down on the details of your FIRST DATE! Your lucky I live to far away to leave CHEERIOS on your doorstep! Drive safely...
We are having so much fun watching Conner play baseball this year. He is such a great player!
Uncle Logan, Papa Larsen and Oma are his biggest supporters. Uncle Logan and Papa have been his "PITCHING COACHES". The time and effort they have given him is awesome! They are so patient and positive with him. 
Cole doesn't sit still the whole two hours. I don't know who is more tired him or me!
Oma loves to watch her grandkids play!
I love it all! I am so proud of Conner and how far he has come! Each game he gets a little better! His pitching has improved so much. He always gets a hit (tonight he got three great hits)! I don't know what he likes more batting or stealing the bases??! His self confidence has increased-it is so fun to watch him grow! I love being a mom!
This is my favorite picture of my mom. It was her high school senior picture. There are so many things I love about my mom. She has always been there for me. She has always encouraged me at whatever I wanted to do. She would always try to make all my sporting events. She always had my clothes clean and food made for me. She taxied me around town. She taught me to serve. She always encouraged me to do my best! She believed in me and trusted me to make good choices. Today she shares recipes, volunteers to help out with my kids, goes shopping and to lunch with me, supports my childrens activities, and loves my kids. Most importantly she listens! I am grateful she raised me in the gospel and taught me to love the Lord. I love you MOM! 
Mom got her hair cut yesterday and I love it. Cole loves OMA! Today we went over to Oma and Papa's for hamburgers and Oma's famous POTATO SALAD! 
Dad BBQ hotdogs and hamburgers!
The kids love to go and play with their cousins. Now that their a little older we have started playing "red rover red rover, green light red light, duck duck goose, hide-and-seek, ring around the rosies, London bridges, and of course baseball." What fun we have together! 
Lindsey loves to hold and help out with the younger cousins. Case loved on her today!
Thursday, 5-8 Conner had baseball practice. Erik was going to drop he and his friend Tallon off at practice and Tallon's mom was going to bring them home. They went to leave Conner told me he loved me and he'd see me later. Around 6:45 I began making Conner a cheesecrisp for dinner thinking he would be home any minute. Around 7pm the phone rang and it was Tallon's grandma. She started with "everyone's okay we have been in a car accident" she told me where they were. I left Lindsey in charge and headed off to Ellsworth and Ocotillo in front of the Circle K. I got there, gave Conner a big hug and felt so blessed that no one had been hurt! Wow, you never know what's in store for your life. I am glad Conner is fine and that he knows I LOVE HIM!
